Our new Merino Base is a series of base-layers made with a fabric made from merino wool and bamboo viscose making them incredibly soft to the touch and gentle to the skin. These base-layers are amazing at regulating body temperature and stay fresh for extended periods of time thanks to the antibacterial qualities of both these materials. This also greatly reduces the need for regular washing, making them an excellent choice from a sustainable point of view. A fantastic base-layer that fits just as well for everyday life as for activity!

Our sustainability work

Responsible Wool
At Röyk, we have a profound love for wool, whether it’s Swedish or Norwegian wool, or German or Australian merino wool. The Responsible Wool icon shows that the product is made from RWS-certified wool. RWS stands for Responsible Wool Standard, which is a certification program that ensures wool comes from farms with a progressive approach to managing their land, sheep, and wool. Farms certified under RWS must meet strict animal welfare standards and implement best practices in environmental sustainability.

The RWS certification guarantees that the wool comes from sheep that have been treated with care and respect. This means that the animals are not subjected to mulesing, a painful and inhumane procedure that involves cutting away strips of skin from the sheep's hindquarters to prevent flystrike. The RWS also ensures that the sheep are not subjected to unnecessary harm, and that they have access to clean water, food, and shelter. In addition to the animal welfare benefits, RWS wool is also produced in an environmentally responsible way. Farms must implement practices that promote biodiversity, conserve water, and reduce the use of harmful chemicals. This means that RWS wool is a great choice for those who want to minimize their impact on the planet.

Choosing RWS wool means supporting farmers who are committed to responsible and sustainable practices, and ensuring that the wool you purchase is of the highest quality and ethical standards.

Unbleached
The Unbleached icon means the product has been made with a yarn or fabric that minimizes environmental impact by avoiding the use of harsh chemicals typically used in the bleaching process. By choosing an unbleached product, you're appreciating the natural color and beauty of the material. Plus, unbleached materials are often more durable than their bleached counterparts, making them a long-lasting and eco-friendly choice.
